Self-Employed? Qualify for a Mortgage Using Bank Statements

Bank statement mortgage loans designed for self-employed borrowers who earn strong income but write it off on taxes. We qualify you using deposits and cash flow—not tax returns.

Why Work With Parish Lending

I’m a small business owner myself. I understand how legitimate deductions, depreciation, and write-offs can destroy borrowing power on paper—even when cash flow is strong. I specialize in Non-QM mortgage programs that look at the full financial picture, not just what shows up on tax returns.
